Sagittal notation is a universal set of microtonal accidentals, developed by Dave Keenan and George Secor with the help of numerous others. See http://sagittal.org/ for the official site.

In order for musicians to evaluate the proposal, they must adopt it enthusiastically to get a feel for what it can do. What Sagittal can notate is directly related to what we want to notate. This page, Sagittal Corner, is meant as a repository for materials which support the exploration of Sagittal notation.

For those attending Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp 2011

We will be attempting to use Sagittal notation during the camp! This is not to exclude other notations, or to mandate the use of notation at all. Please read the Sagittal introductory article and/or the mythical introduction as time and interest permits. Please make note of any questions or desires that arise in the course of reading. If you wish, you may add comments directly to this page with the "Edit this Page" button.

This page is incomplete, reflecting the finished work of an ongoing project.
